I always liked to visit science museums and exhibitions since I was a kid because there are always a lot of fun science exhibitions combined with arts. I didn't know there was such museum near UofO and I think science museum for children is a great place for families to visit on weekends. Seemed like they have some classes and camps occasionally, and I would wanted to participate in one of those events if I were still a kid. I hope many children will have a chance to visit such science museum and have many impacts on science/art and learn a lot of stuff there.

Just an interesting article on the relevance of of musical training in the real world! From the conclusion: "In years past, it was typical for college graduates to take a job in a good company, and stay there for their entire working careers. However, the rapid development of technology and the resulting changes in the skill sets needed for success has made that scenario less and less likely. In a world where an ever increasing percentage of the population experiences several career changes in a lifetime, no college education can supply enough specific knowledge to cover all the possibilities. Thus, an earned bachelor's degree-music or otherwise-is only a first step in the world. Those with a high-level, "musically flavored" college degree, not only have what it takes to make a good first step, they also have the creativity and drive to ensure that each succeeding step brings them closer to the happiness and fulfillment we all seek in life."

Using a parabolic-mirror technique that allows camera lenses to strip real life images down to their basest particles, sound waves are no longer invisible vibrations.

Visualizing the Sound? what? I thought this post is very interesting. Sound itself can be an "art" as music (for example), but I have never thought sound can be a form of art when visualized.

It's incredible what the camera has the ability to capture. I think this is a great example of how science and art can overlap.

I really enjoy this video, and I have to say that modern technology make the video game become more and more like reality.

Wake Up With The World, an iPhone app by Pratt Institute MFA student Eric Rieper, can't solve the repetitive Pavlovian torture of being forced to wake up early every morning, but it can make the horrors of daily wake ups a more positive, communal experience. It's an alarm clock that syncs with other alarm clocks around the world, turning your phone into but one instrument in a global orchestra.

Thank you so much for sharing this information! Now, I can start my days with great music from all over the world!

It can be very useful app and the app creator is so clever. I'm downloading it right now! thank you for useful info

Sketchfab is another web app that lets people look at 3D models in an interactive way to get a better idea of an object, as opposed to still pictures or video. Expect to see it more in the near future!

This web app lets you view 3D models in your browser, and rotate, pan, and zoom to get the full picture of an object in 3D space. For 3D artists, this is an awesome new format for showing 3D pieces in an engaging way.
